A mouthful of blood...

that hits you.

Where?!

In yo face.

"In Yo Face."

- What are you saying, bro'?

- We just nailed the scene

and the title at the same time!

You mean that?

You were right!

"In Yo Face," that's the movie!

Man, I was just going

with the vibe.

- We both did that!

- No!

You did it.

It was your idea.

When we get to Cannes,

I'll buy you a six-pack

of Dom Periyom!

We're f***ing going!

You know it!

Hell, we're going!

Parlez-vous!

Oui, monsieur!

A man so outraged by

a cowardly attack

on his dear friend and

super, Juan Benitez,

he undertook a personal

quest for justice.

He overcame two crazed killers,

one armed with a gun, one

with a three-foot machete.

There was a regrettable

loss of life,

but in the view of

this administration,

this man deserves,

without question,

to be called a hero.

Ladies and gentlemen,

with this promotion,

the City of New York

expresses its gratitude

to Detective First

Grade Raymond Pluto...

or, as we call him, Ray.

Ray Pluto.

- He'll be all right.

- Thanks, Ray.

Thank you so much.

Sorry, Mr. Pluto, the

doctor's with a patient.

- When will she be done?

- Hard to say.

We're very busy today.

- She got my message?

- Yes, I believe she did.

Okay, just tell her...

I called again.

I'll be home if she

wants to call me back.

I'll give her the message.

Ray?

Do you want to come in now?

Hey, Juan.

How you doing, man?

Look at that.

Strong as a bull.

You'll be okay.

We got those guys.

F***ing pendejos.

I bet they were the ones doin'

the graffiti in the building.

Shh... baby, don't talk.

Hey, look.

You'll be all right.

I gotta go. Okay? But...

I thought you might... want this.

All right, man.

Thanks, Ray.

Maribel, help him.

Well, put it on.

Papi.

It's okay.

You can cry.

- Papi.

- He'll be all right.

Hasta la vista.

Hasta luego.

Hasta manana.

Dr. Beamer's office.

Hold, please.

Detective Pluto again.

The doctor's not

available at the moment.

Would you do me a favor?

- Just write this down.

- All right.

Tell her... I'm sorry.

"Sorry." Uh-huh.

- Anything else?

- I screwed up.

So you screwed up.

And...

- I'm heading over to the river...

- River... uh-huh.

- ...to watch the sunset.

- All right.

I'd really love it if

she'd meet me there.

- Is that all?

- Yes.

Are you sure?

Okay, thanks. Bye.

She's not coming.

Why should she?

After what you did?

You blew it.

Hero.

Unbelievable.

Hey!

Don't try sneaking up on me!

All right?

You don't know who you're

dealing with, do you?

Okay.

Okay. Huh?

Don't you read the papers?

Are you blind?

It's me.

I'm the hero cop.

Yeah, Detective First Grade...

Raymond Pluto.

Of course, we all call him... Ray!

Oh Jesus!

Shithead!

What's the matter?

- Hey, what's the matter?

- My back went out again.

- Careful.

- Keep breathing.

Ouch!

Ooh, I got it.

It's the second lumbar.

- Okay.

- Stand up.

Do you think you can walk?

You know what?

Do me a favor.

Grab my gun.

It's right behind you.

Oh, Ray! Come on!

Here, here.

Might be a good idea to put

the gun in the holster.

- Here?

- Yeah, right there.

- Oh man.

- Better?

Yeah.

I didn't think you'd come.

- I wasn't going to.

- What happened?

Teesha talked me into it.

She said, "Give the f***ing

bastard one more chance."

Oh.

Well...

- I guess I owe her one.

- Yep.

I guess you do.

I'm sorry.

- Oh!

- Ray?!

Are you okay? Sure?

- Can you walk?

- I'd like to try.

Let's go.

- Here we go.

- You okay?

- Don't forget to breathe.

- I'm breathing.

You kept forgetting your

exercises, didn't you?

You know... I got busy.

I told you, chiropractic

is a lifetime commitment.

I'm beginning to

understand what you meant.

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

It may seem like a cold town

Go, go, go

But, man, let me tell

you, it's a soul town

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

It may seem like a cold town

Go, go, go

But, man, let me tell

you, it's a soul town

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

Go, go, go

Go, go, go
